Cultural Safety Training – Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) and supported by Cancer Council Victoria

The project is looking to increase culturally safe cervical screening options for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community in Victoria.

It Starts with Me Project

  • Be part of changing the future of elimination of cervical cancer: You can help them create more culturally safe screening options and close the projected 12-21 year difference in eliminating cervical cancer in Aboriginal Communities compared to the broader Australian population.
  • Counts towards your accreditation evidence: The training can contribute to your clinic’s accreditation evidence and includes CPD certificates for screening providers.
  • Close to your practice: The training focuses on providing a local and supportive environment with practical skills and case studies relevant to you.
  • Bring your team: We encourage you to bring along your colleagues whether screening providers or not (Nurses, Midwives, GPs, Administrative staff etc…). Attending together can support a whole-of-practice approach to providing culturally safe care.

Course overview:

Both online modules and in-person training

  • Approx. four hours of self-paced online modules completed prior to the in-person session.
